Linguists in Russia estimate ambiguously the language of runet (Russian-speaking sector in internet). A generał trend to negligence of the Russian language, supplanting it by simplified English, adherence to slang and depressed vocabulary, destruction of ortho- graphic, punctuation and other norms is noticed.Especially distinctly it is manifested in unofficial internet intercourse, in such its genre forms as chat, forum, web-site, weblog, private correspondence by E-mail and using “I seek you” (ICQ and its analogs).In runet the traditions of Russian risorial culture are realized. Laughing and mocking, the internet “inhabitants” become bolder, feel morę confident, morę comfortable, inclu- ding in the language used as well.

And even epatage vocal forms acquire in the internet medium the function of accentuation of a human individuality, originality and thus realize the desire of a speaker deviating from norms of behavior to be noted, to attract attention.Therefore, the determinant of vocal self-realization of a personality in non-formal runet is playing improvisation style typical for today’s cultural context defined by many as time of postmodemism. We can also notę here another-maximum confiding, private style when there is “intercourse in virtual with masks down”. Such a zonę of elevated emo- tionality is, for example, weblogs. During functioning a Russian-speaking personality in runet, the typical features of Russian national character become apparent, such as particu- lar emotionality, anti-rationality, inclination to passivity and fatalism, love for moral .
